So, i opened up a ticket, but after looking through the forums and everything, well, i guess this may be a better solution. Ofcourse i do consider myself a patient person and its been about 20 hours since i sent in my ticket. anyway, after looking at the terms of service and all the other rules for hosting, i still cant really tell if my site would be allowed to be hosted on here. So here is a copy and paste of what i sent.

"""
After looking through the forums and seeing the terms of service. The content I want to make my website based off of is still in question.

What i would like to use this hosting service for is for 2 things, For my Fansubbing team as well as my own Manga and Doujins as i am an aspiring Manga-ka. Now according to the Anime part of the terms of service, it simply stats that one is not allowed to upload copyrighted files, however if i have my company's "okay" to upload it, it should be fine right? And well, other than that, Some of the stuff i plan to show are my own work, so i would diffenetly own the copyrights to that, so no prob there.

Also, as far as the fansubbing portion of my website is concerned, my team isnt fansubbing actual mainstream anime or anything, to be more accurate, we are fansubbing Doujinishi which is fan made material. I also have the "okay" from the guys at NicoNico Douga as to which i am getting the videos from.

This site i plan to build would more or less be a blogging site. Any actual big files wont be hosted on here and instead hosted on another server which i plan to link to. www.savefile.com is where the link would take my visitors.

END QUOTE
I would also link people to my youtube and dailymotion and viddler pages.

so ya, I do not believe i am breaking any rules, and i believe anything goes as long as you have someone's permission. i mean, if Kodokawa gave me permission to upload full episodes of Suzumiya Haruhi, that would be ok right? (just using that as an example).

Yep, your web site seems okay, as long as you are the owner of the material. The TOS mainly forbids use of x10 for hosting other people's work, such as image hosting.

Just make sure that the owner of the "fan" work is ok with you "Dubbing" it. Otherwise you'd be violating DMCA.

It sounds alright to me. As long as you keep up with getting permission from the copyright owners, you should be fine. You also might want to stay on top of informing the staff of the permissions you've been granted because otherwise they won't know you are allowed to post copyrighted material.
